If your one of many whose eyes easily get irritated, the only option for sight correction used to be regular glasses. This was due to the rigidity and high density of contact lenses in the old days, which made the eyes sore and itchy, and didn’t let them get enough air. With modern lenses, this has all changed. Modern soft lenses are gas permeable, and let in oxygen to the surface of the eyes. The material silicone hydrogel, which is quite new on the lens market, in fact combines the high breathability with the high comfort and superb optics of the older materials.

Lenses today can be worn from a single day, to up to several years, depending of how your are planning to use them.

Another common lens is the extended wear lens, that can be worn for up to a month.
